10. (a) In △ABE,
AB 2 + AE 2 = (6 2 + 8 2 ) cm 2 = 100 cm 2

Review Exercise 1 (p. 1.7) BE 2 = 10 2 cm 2 = 100 cm 2


∵ AB 2 + AE 2 = BE 2
1. x + 90 + 130 + 65 = 360 (s at a pt.) ∴ △ABE is a right-angled triangle, where
x = 75 CAD = 90 . (converse of Pyth. theorem)
(b) In △ACD,
2. a = 70 (vert. opp. ∠s) AC 2 + AD 2 = CD 2 (Pyth. theorem)
90 + 70 + b = 180 (adj. s on st. line) (6 + 3) 2 + (8 + x) 2 = 15 2
b = 20 81 + 64 + 16 x + x 2 = 225
x 2 + 16 x − 80 = 0
3. 120 + a = 180 (int. ∠s, AB // CD)
( x − 4)( x + 20) = 0
a = 60
x = 4 or x = −20 (rejected)
b = 120 (alt. ∠s, AB // CD)
11. Consider △PQD and △SRD.
4. DBP = 60 (corr. ∠s, PQ // RS) PD = SD (given)
y = 60 (vert. opp. ∠s) ∠DPQ = ∠DSR = 90° (property of rectangle)
PQ = SR (property of rectangle)
∴ △PQD  △SRD (SAS)
5. 125 + PQR = 180 (adj. ∠s on st. line)
PQR = 55 12. Consider △ACE and △DCB.
x + 55 = 140 (ext. ∠ of △) AC (4 + 6) cm 10 5
= = =
x = 85 DC 4 cm 4 2
EC (11 + 4) cm 15 5
= = =
6. In △XYZ, BC 6 cm 6 2
a + 90 + 40 = 180 (∠ sum of △) AC EC
∵ = and
a = 50 DC BC
ACE = DCB (common angle)
In △PXY, ∴ △ACE ~ △DCB (ratio of 2 sides, inc. ∠)
b = 50 + 34 (ext. ∠ of △)
= 84 13. (a) In △ABC,
AC 2 + BC 2 = AB 2 (Pyth. theorem)
7. ∵ AB = AD and BC = CD BC = AB 2 − AC 2
∴ AC⊥BD (prop. of isos. △)
∴ y = 90 = 25 2 − 15 2 cm
= 20 cm
BD = (1 + 1) cm
= 2 cm (b) Consider △BDC and △BCA.
∵ AB = BD = DA = 2 cm BDC = BCA = 90° (given)
∴ x = 60 (prop. of equil. △) CBD = ABC (common angle)
In △BDC,
8. ∵ DB = AB DCB = 180 − 90 − CBD ( sum of △)
∴ ADB = 20 (base ∠s, isos. △) = 90 − ABC
DBC = ADB + DAB (ext. ∠ of △) In △BCA,
= 20 + 20 CAB = 180 − 90 − ABC ( sum of △)
= 40 = 90 − ABC
∵ DB = DC (given) ∴ DCB = CAB
∴ x = 40 (base ∠s, isos. △) ∴ △BDC ~ △BCA (AAA)
BD BC
∴ = (corr. sides, ~△s)
9. BCD = 65 alt. s, AB // CD BC BA
ABC + CBD + BDC = 180 int. ∠s, AB // CD BD
=
20 cm
65 + 50 + BDC = 180 20 cm 25 cm
BD = 16 cm
BDC = 65
∵ BCD = BDC = 65
∴ BC = BD sides opp. equal s
∴ △BCD is an isosceles
triangle.

6. Answer: B 8. Answer: A
For I,
∵ BD is the angle bisector of ∠OBC.
∴ ∠CBE = ∠OBD
∵ OD = OB (radii)
∴ ∠ODB = ∠OBD (base s, isos. △)
∴ ∠ODE = ∠CBE
∠OED = ∠CEB (vert. opp. s)
Join AD. In △DOE,
AOD
ABD = ( at centre twice  at ☉ce) ∠DOE = 180 − OED − ODE ( sum of △)
2
100 = 180 − CEB − CBE
= = BCE ( sum of △)
2
= 50 ∴ △OED ~ △CEB (AAA)
∵ BD is the angle bisector of ∠ABC. ∴ I is true.
∴ ∠CBD = ∠ABD For II,
= 50° ∵ There is not sufficient data to show
∵ OA = OD (radii) △OBD ~ △CBD.
∴ ∠OAD = ∠ODA (base s, isos. △) ∴ II may not be true.
In △AOD, For III,
∵ There is not sufficient data to show
∠ODA + ∠OAD + ∠AOD = 180° ( sum of △)
△BOE ~ △DCE.
2∠ODA + 100° = 180°
∴ III may not be true.
∠ODA = 40°
∴ The answer is A.
∠ABC + ∠ADC = 180° (opp. s, cyclic quad.)
(50° + 50°) + (14° + 40° + ∠BDO) = 180°
BDO = 26
